An obvious scenario is for Cassel to be traded only as the draft is ongoing, and teams discover whether or not they can draft their favorite rookie QB.
Problem -- as I understand it, Cassell can be traded only with a new contract ($14.x million one year or otherwise). So, unless he actually signs such a contract before the draft, he can not realistically be signed during it.
Traded after the draft? Sure. Team drafts for N.E. and then trades the unsigned player -- uh, is even that realistic, or is there a problem with rookie salary caps, CBA, whatever?
Am I missing anything here?
